Disease: Primary Sjögren's syndrome
Primary Sjögren's syndrome
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE The simultaneous and direct targeting of the BAFF axis and of B cells represents a promising new treatment approach for pSS and other immune-mediated diseases, but only investigational at present. 31464677 2019
CUI: C0151449
Disease: Primary Sjögren's syndrome
Primary Sjögren's syndrome
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE Expression of B-cell activating factor (<i>BAFF)</i> mRNA was inversely correlated with the expression of hsa-miR-30b-5p in B lymphocytes from patients with pSS and functional experiments showed increased expression of <i>BAFF</i> after inhibiting hsa-miR-30b-5p. 28916716 2018
CUI: C0151449
Disease: Primary Sjögren's syndrome
Primary Sjögren's syndrome
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE JAK-1 Inhibition Suppresses Interferon-Induced BAFF Production in Human Salivary Gland: Potential Therapeutic Strategy for Primary Sjögren's Syndrome. 29927095 2018
CUI: C0151449
Disease: Primary Sjögren's syndrome
Primary Sjögren's syndrome
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE To identify independent contributors of fatigue in primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS) patients, taking into account clinical, laboratory, and psychological features, and to explore the potential role of interferon (IFN)-induced gene indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO-1), anti-21-hydroxylase (anti-21[OH]) antibodies, and soluble BAFF. 26315379 2016
CUI: C0151449
Disease: Primary Sjögren's syndrome
Primary Sjögren's syndrome
0.100 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE We aimed to explore whether previously described polymorphisms of the B-cell activating factor (BAFF) could be related to pSS-related lymphomagenesis. 23845207 2014
CUI: C0151449
Disease: Primary Sjögren's syndrome
Primary Sjögren's syndrome
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE This study offers a rationale for localized therapeutic BAFF inhibition in pSS and represents a proof of concept of the interest of exon skipping in autoimmune diseases. 24304965 2014
CUI: C0151449
Disease: Primary Sjögren's syndrome
Primary Sjögren's syndrome
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE The monocyte IFN type I signature identifies a subgroup of patients with pSS with a higher clinical disease activity together with higher BAFF mRNA expression. 22736090 2013
CUI: C0151449
Disease: Primary Sjögren's syndrome
Primary Sjögren's syndrome
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE We focused on B-cell-activating factor of the TNF family (BAFF) and IL-6 because they are both produced by monocytes and are known to be involved in the pathogenesis of pSS. 22018243 2011
CUI: C0151449
Disease: Primary Sjögren's syndrome
Primary Sjögren's syndrome
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE In conclusion, similar to epithelial cells, blood monocytes in patients with pSS show increased production of BAFF under IFNalpha, which confirms the involvement of IFNalpha in pSS. 18201372 2008
CUI: C0151449
Disease: Primary Sjögren's syndrome
Primary Sjögren's syndrome
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE We investigated whether danger signals induce BAFF secretion by cultured salivary gland epithelial cells (SGEC), which are the target of primary Sjögren's syndrome, a prototypic systemic autoimmune disease. 18350548 2008
CUI: C0151449
Disease: Primary Sjögren's syndrome
Primary Sjögren's syndrome
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE Serum BAFF level was inversely correlated with BAFF-R MFI (p = 0.007), but not because of competition between endogenous BAFF (at observed concentrations in patients) and the monoclonal antibody (11C1) detecting BAFF-R. BAFF-R mRNA levels did not differ between patients with pSS and controls (p = 0.48). 17185325 2007
CUI: C0151449

Disease: Primary Sjögren's syndrome
Primary Sjögren's syndrome
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Secretion of BAFF protein, undetectable at baseline, was significantly increased after IFN-alpha and IFN-gamma stimulation both in pSS patients (40.8 +/- 12.5 (+/- SEM) and 47.4 +/- 18.7 pg/ml, respectively) and controls (24.9 +/- 8.0 and 9.0 +/- 3.9 pg/ml, respectively), with no significant difference between pSS and controls. 16507175 2006
